The well-regarded Public Policy Polling poll also has McAullife ahead. The Roanoke College Poll with Coo Coo Cuchinelli ahead may be an outlier. His image should be impacted by the graft scandal he and Gov. McDonnell are involved in.

Do you mean the "scandal" where the investigation showed cuchinelli hadn't committed a crime? Cuchinelli has done a great job as AG and deserves the governorship. The voters in the Dakotas didn't like McAuliffe, so instead he just came here. For me its come to a point where I treat most of these polls as BS, since they are all run by a bunch of socialists (or liberals, whatever you want to call them) anyways.

The PPP had McAuliffe ahead. It also had Libertarian Robert Sarvis polling at 7%.
